Contextual Overview

13 And King Rehoboam made himself strong in Jerusalem, and reigned. For Rehoboam was a son of forty one years when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city thatJehovah had chosen to put His name there,out of all the tribes of Israel. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. 14 And he did the evil, for he had not resolved in his heart to seek Jehovah. 15 And the acts of Rehoboam, the first and the last, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer as to genealogy? And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam lasted all their days. 16 And Rehoboam lay with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And his son Abijah reigned in his place.
